Camping, hiking, scouting and clamshells

Well hello! I hope you had a great weekend?

Lenny and I were able to get out and do some camping, hiking, scouting, (Lenny will be going hunting in a few weeks), sightseeing, and I got some hand sewing done. We also slept a lot! It was a goooooood weekend!

Here are some photos of the weekend. The leaves are changing a bit early this year and it appears we have great timing:

a bridge in Grand Lake:

Pine tree homage:

and of course, no matter where I go, there's an iced latte happening.

And lastly, some hand sewing. I started out using Molly Flander's clamshell tutorial and added a few other details and steps. I'll be doing a tutorial soon for those interested!

You captured such vibrant colors! I want to reach out and touch that bridge. It looks smooth and polished but I wonder if it is? We were out camping this weekend too! We had amazing weather and a wonderful time and I too got to work on seaming a baby sweater gift.

Penny, I keep coming back to look at your clamshell picture. I was reading your blog on my iPhone while waiting to pick up my son from school & his (18 yr old) twin sister saw the photo and fell in love. Would you happen to know the designers of the lines of fabric that has the girl on it (in the front) and the shoe behind it? My daughter wants me to do a clamshell quilt like this for her, loved those fabrics, and I just thought I'd ask. Then maybe I can have it done for her in time for her college graduation! ;) Thanks for any help!
